battlefield - hey! Good to read that you've got your head in the right space and consciously making good choices and appreciating what you have found in MA. There is a certain peace and purity of purpose found within movement isn't there? You'll find many stories, published works, personal experiences from all kinds of practitioners in sport and MA that resonate with your own realizations. Doesn't make your personal discovery any less worthy. Sorry to hear about the job situation, at least you're turning it into a positive. Just remember that all things are transient.

P.s. I totally feel jnp's envy that you can train so much!

Not sure what the other asshats in this thread are doing but it's par for the course on bs.net. devil is good in my books though.
When's your fight (is it in Sydney?)? Any chance I can watch?

"He's the real deal, he only trains people in his driveway and only has 4 students and..." you know the rest. The guy is deadly. He doesn't do "what you do, for sport". The guy is super fast. The guy draws chi through the earth. The guy can **** around with your chi.

He showed me some footage of his master doing things with his arms very quickly. Useless things. Things that are not fight applicable. He's learning them thinking he is learning to fight. I didn't have the energy. I realised I'd become weary of arguing against bullshido in real life. I think because when I have come up against it in the past, I was overzealous and I may have spent all my zeal. If it is not fighting, I don't want to talk about it.

OMG Battlefields is pouring his heart out on his upcoming fight. I strongly relate to emotions, despite SUBSTANCE of what is said. I'll now defend him with one of the lowest forms of rebuttal: teenage insults and dumbass pictures.

Cheng has made a clear case of why BF has shown to be a hypocrite here. On top of that, BF had to add that "I'm better than ..." bullshit, after Devil gave him sound advice.

Honestly, if I was BF, I'd ask you to stop defending me, it's fucking embarassing.
